Nickel-Titanium Wire in Circumferential Suture of a Flexor Tendon Repair: A Comparison to Polypropylene

Purpose Nickel-titanium (NiTi) has been proposed as an alternative material for flexor tendon core suture. To our knowledge, its suitability as a circumferential suture of flexor tendon repair has not been investigated before. The purpose of this ex vivo study was to investigate the biomechanical pr...
